3 mindful steps to better decision-making:
It may not be what you think. One way of defining the question is to begin by calling to mind the issue or situation, and asking a more general question first:"what is called for now?" In other words, step back from the specific question to one that is a little broader or more general. More than a few of the clients I work with have said that this reflection often lets them see that the reason an answer couldn't be found was because they had the wrong question.
Don’t be in too much of a hurry to get to the precise answer to a narrower question. The smaller answer may be just that…small, rather than creative or breakthrough or compassionate. Once you begin to feel your body and mind settle into the present moment and you have defined the question, it is time for the final step-reflection. This is not analysis, or even thinking. It is approaching the question with open curiosity.
